I think the worst mistake many putters make is they stand TOO tall over the ball. The arms should never really bet straight. Let them be relaxed with some bend in them. Keeping the elbows near the rib cage is a good way of getting over top of the ball, from there putter length fits in. Ideally the eyes should be over top or slightly inside the ball, never outside the ball.

Gary Woodland has always looked like he stands too tall to the ball. Looks weird.
